Sunset Falls Campground

Got our 25’ tow behind in here just fine. Lovely campground that could use some better maintenance… saw toilet paper hanging from trees, and trash along the river. People, please pick up after yourself and others!

Outside of that… the paved trail to the falls is so nice and a very easy walk. My 4 year old could also hike around the falls themselves just fine. Super fun for kids!

Swimming / wading in the water was a lot of fun. Core memz were made.

Great small campground with easy access to falls. We enjoyed 2 nights. No phone reception, no loud noises, super peaceful.

This is an amazing small campground with 10 nice RV sites. Great views of falls from just a short hike away. The tent sites looked nice as well. Sound of the east fork of the Lewis River from all parts of the campground. We stayed in site 9 and enjoyed it. Had a sunny day and was able to get some solar charging on our van. We will return at some point as we had a good time

The drive to this campsite was truly beautiful. I hadn’t been through this area of Washington before and it was great. The campground itself was very secluded - 30 minutes to any services or cell service (ATT). While the location was beautiful, the main sites were very small and close together without much privacy. The hike-in sites were very private, but too private for me as a solo camper so I didn’t stay here. The pit toilet was one of the oldest I’ve encountered so far. This could be a great site for secluded hike-in primitive camping if you like that! The first come first serve sites were all available when I showed up on a Thursday.

Sites are decent not great. Listening to the river was nice. Very quiet for my stay just the way I like it. Vault toilets are well ICK but it is what it is. Vicks under the nose for the win. Trail to falls is paved and shady. I'll be back with a better site in my sights next time. All sights are fcfs until Spring. A fire 🔥 would make this location much better....so bring on the 🌧

Pretty area! Just inside the NF. Never saw a single staff member while here. Fine by me! Next time I'll choose a better site. Mine was not the best. Not enough trees for my liking. All sites just have a little pull through a bit different for me. I did enjoy hearing the water very easily. Season is winding down it was COLD this morning I was prepared!

The falls is very pretty and great for swimming.

This is a smaller campground with both overnight and day use spots. Some overnight spots are hike in and a bit more secluded.

This is located at a beautiful place in the forest. The con of that being the trucks going in and out through the day. But overall my stay was quite enjoyable. Site #18 was closest to the road but that allowed me to be parked close. I highly recommend you bring your own bathroom facilities because the vault toilets are... well. Yeah. Isn’t camping fun!!! Yes, it is! I want to return to this campground so that I can explore more trails.

We just drove there today. Campground is closed until further notice.

My husband and I took our first camping trip together here this summer. We had a great time. We brought our labrador with us and she enjoyed it as well. It was very quiet and a lovely setting. The camp host has firewood available for purchase as well. The hike to the falls was very short, on a well kept paved path. We will definitely be back.

I love this little campground. There's ten spots on the right that are all pull-throughs (for tents or small trailers). The sites don't have a ton of privacy, but they have tables and such, enough room (some are much larger than others), and half of them are right overlooking the Lewis River. On the left side there's another eight walk-in campsites, most of which have lots of privacy. The walk-in sites are a very short walk from the parking lot, so unless you need your car or trailer, they're a pretty great way to go.

And finally there's a day-use area just a short walk away with absolutely amazing views of a sweet waterfall.

There's pit toilets, but bring your own water.

I've read horrible reviews about the "camp host" on other sites, but we didn't have any interaction with her, so I can't say anything for sure about it and our time there was lovely.

Tips: Bring exact change in cash. When we were there it was $12 for a campsite.

Nuff said

Great campground in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Smallish campground with about half the spots right on the river. Nice day use area slightly separated from the camping. Picnic tables and fire rings. Mostly tents when we were there, but there's also pull-through driveway type spots that could fit a trailer. At just $12 per night, price can't be beat.

Plenty of trees and grass. Most spots are slightly exposed to the turn-around road, but still feels private since there's space and trees between the spots.

Not too far from Mouton Falls, which are amazing, plus other hiking and swimming areas nearby.

11 is a walk I’m site that offers the most seclusion in the campground. You are away from all other campers and surrounded by river and trees. The hike along the river and to the waterfalls is short and offers great swimming and relaxing. Fishing is not permitted on the river that runs through the campground.

A nice creek valley, clear easy camp sites with decent spacing, a short walk to a waterfall swim hole, huckleberry and mushroom picking and fantastic sightseeing in Gifford Pinchot top the list here. It's four stars if you get a campsite creekside (which is also further away from the road), three stars for anything else. If Sunset is full, Rock Creek Horse Camp and Cold Creek can each accommodate tent campers - Battle Ground Lake too.

There are places to swim along the Lewis river, Silverstar look out point is near by, plenty of trees for hammocking and gathering firewood. Very missy and relaxing, the sound of rushing water will help put you to sleep.

One of my favorite campgrounds. Very well kept and kid friendly campsitewith easy to moderate hikes availabland site. Love the close proximity to the river as well! My only complaint is the near comingling of campsites with RV sites, in my opinion more space between the two is necessary for those of us who want to hear the hum of nature, not RVs, at night.
